British 1986

Several traditional Welsh harps were arranged at the entrance of the studio to welcome guests, and a small clog dancing team was performing next to it.

This clog is not the clog from the island country, but the clog from Wales. The two shoes have basically nothing to do with each other except for their similar names due to translation problems. Moreover, this kind of clog was spread to all over the world with Welsh sailors. Among them It is most popular in Australia, and both places have clog dance. It was adapted from the movements of Welsh sailors wearing clogs in the warehouse when they were on the ship. It is very local.

"Hey, look who this is?"

Allen came in the same car as Boss Cha. As soon as he entered the studio, he met the Duke of Westminster and his precious son who came to greet him.

This little guy is now two years old and can finally be brought out to meet people.

Allen and the Duke of Westminster looked at each other. The old guy had very thick eyebrows and almost lost his eyes when he smiled. He was very happy.

"Your Highness, you are here. This is my youngest son, Hugh."

Holding his son in his arms and giving Boss Cha a special look, the Duke of Westminster couldn't stand Allen's tugging, so he handed his son to Allen.

Holding the little guy in his arms, Allen looked at the little yellow fur. The two of them stared at each other with big eyes. Allen didn't speak. Of course, the little yellow fur couldn't speak either.

Seeing Allen's serious expression, the little guy pursed his lips and didn't dare to move, so he was held by Allen obediently.

"Call daddy!"

Allen doesn't care what the difference is between the godfather and the godfather here. Anyway, he is the godfather of this little guy. As long as he takes care of his father, he will be his father!

"."

The little guy looked at the fierce Allen, his mouth tightened, and he almost wanted to cry. He was usually loved by his father. Since he grew up, the number of times he went out was limited, and the number of people he met was even more limited. , everyone who saw him would hold it in their mouths for fear of melting, and hold it in their hands for fear of breaking. How could there be someone like Allen?

"Don't cry! Look at how timid you are!"

Allen rubbed the little guy's nose with his thumb, tilted his head and continued to stare at him. Although the little yellow fur might not understand what Allen said, Allen didn't let him cry. I really held it back.

"Your Highnesses, shall we take a seat?"

While holding the future little duke in his arms, Allen turned around and called Boss Cha, and by the way teased the Duke of Westminster who was talking to Boss Cha.

"Call Gerald, Your Highness is here, why are you calling me Your Highness?!"

Basically, except for members of the royal family, Dukes with different surnames are rarely called His Royal Highness. It is a bit too pretentious. So when he heard Allen's title, the Duke of Westminster was extremely speechless. He pointed at Allen and retorted. .

"Haha, Gerald, your achievements over the years have made you worthy of the honorific title of His Highness, let's go."

Boss Cha laughed, as if he recognized Allen's words, patted the Duke of Westminster on the shoulder, and the two walked side by side.

The layout of the studio hall is a traditional large stage, but the innovation is that dozens of circular dining tables are arranged in a ring around the stage.

This kind of dining table seems a bit inconsistent with traditional etiquette, but it is more suitable for the occasion and is convenient for watching the show on the stage. If the long dining table is arranged according to the tradition, the orientation is not easy to adjust. Some guests have to twist their bodies to watch the show. Comfortable, the key is

If we use a long dining table and everyone gathers together, it will be a bit awkward if there are too many people. If we use a small dining table, whoever has a better relationship with whom can be arranged together and watch the show while eating, which is also comfortable.

Allen led Boss Cha to meet a group of guests. Of course, the first thing for those people he invited was the identity of Allen, the main inviter. In addition to this

The reason why he was able to invite so many people this time was that Allen was a bit of a show-off. He made it clear in the invitation letter that he had invited the Crown Prince of Great Britain to watch this show. The party was of very high standard, with... For this reason, these people accepted Allen's invitation.

It can be said that he invited everyone here by coaxing and deceiving the boss.

"You said that Felipe didn't come?" Boss Cha seemed to be in a very good mood and asked Allen in a low voice while walking with his hands behind his back.

The Felipe he was talking about was the Crown Prince of Spain. He had always had a difficult relationship with Boss Cha. The two of them looked disgusted and had been enemies for many years. Of course, Allen also invited the Crown Prince over this time, but He is not as arrogant as King Gustaf of Sweden. The crown prince is very arrogant. When he heard that it was Allen's invitation, he refused without even thinking.

"Your Highness, I invited him, but he refused."

"Hmph, it seems that he is afraid of me, but he is very self-aware."

The first opening program was the large-scale stage dance program "Long Live the Queen" selected by India. Allen was a little confused about the Indian brain circuit. He said it was for Boss Cha, so couldn't you change the name?

Let's do something like "Long Live the Boss", flatter him more, and make it so serious.

Allen sat next to Boss Cha, and the waiter came over with a tray to display the aperitif champagne before the meal.

This champagne is made from Pol Roger champagne, the royal brand of the British royal family. It has an emerald bottle with the Queen's certification logo on it.

This brand of champagne may not be very well-known outside, mainly because the output is too low. Until now, their winery still uses the most traditional all-manual production method. Even the wine transfer is purely artificial. The entire winery only has four A sommelier, working two shifts.

The daily output depends entirely on the physical strength of the wine master. If a master calls in sick or something, the winery will have to stop production.

Allen looked at the bottle and nodded, then motioned to the waiter to show it to several others.

In addition to the luxurious and showy banquets in the Middle Ages, modern banquet standards generally refer to state banquet standards.

It is a traditional long table for dinner. Whether it is the placement of the dinner plate or the distance between the chairs and the dining table, it must be accurate to the millimeter level. It is very strict and rigid.

Of course we can't be so strict at the party now.

Allen just borrowed the standards of a state banquet and prepared nine dishes.

At the party held in Wales, French food is definitely not allowed. If Allen holds it in his own name, then he can eat whatever he wants, but now he brings Boss Cha to save face for Boss Cha. What do you mean by French food? !

But if you eat a full English meal, you can imagine how difficult it is.

Fortunately, Allen still has his old chef at home, the traditional British famous chef Old York!

Although Old York was the chef of two generations of Earls of the Hill family, he had all the advantages except that his cooking was unpalatable. However, he was only good at cooking British cuisine. It is no exaggeration to say that he could cook all the cuisines in Britain as long as they were unpalatable. Yes, there’s nothing Old York can’t do!

But in recent years, because Allen has hired several chefs from outside, including French, island countries, Chinese, etc., over time, Old York has stolen the cooking skills from these foreign chefs. There has been an increase.

In order to determine the menu for this party, Old York made several trips to the Imperial Library in London and Allen's family library, and dug out several recipes from old antiques that were both famous and not too unpalatable.

After ordering canapés with champagne, the first thing served were two hard dishes.

Prince Albert Lamb Rack and Queen Mary Prime Salmon.

This is a serious dish name. Britain has a long history. The royal family loves to name dishes after celebrities. Every dish is closely related to that celebrity.

Most of the food in British cuisine is generally unpalatable, but these dishes with celebrity names definitely won’t taste that bad!

These are all good dishes that the British chefs in those days had to think hard to come up with. At least among the dishes in Da Ying, they are definitely on the table.

Gustav cut a piece of salmon and put it into his mouth with a fork. The texture was quite good. I can only say that Swedish rice and British rice are about the same. Let’s not criticize each other. Gustav I was well prepared mentally, but I didn’t expect that it would not taste bad after eating it!

After picking up the red wine glass and signaling to Allen next to him, he took another sip of red wine, and then put down the wine glass to watch the show.

The taste and aftertaste of the red wine were quite good. Gustav glanced at the waiter next to him without any trace. The waiter bent down and walked to Gustav's side and said, "Your honor, please give me your orders."

"What brand is this wine? I didn't show it just now."

The waiter gestured towards Allen and whispered: "Honorable guest, this is the red wine from His Excellency the Earl's house. It is unbranded."

"Oh! I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Alan, do you still have privately brewed red wine at home? It tastes good. Give me some when I leave!"

Now that he was ready to give his daughter away, Gustave didn't treat Allen as an outsider. He asked Allen directly for this little thing.

"Okay! But after using it up this time, I don't have much left at home, and the taste of the products produced every year is different, and the quality is different."

"oh?"

After these two days of baptism, Gustav has thoroughly seen Allen's strength. He thought that there were several winemakers in his family who were responsible for winemaking. However, there are professional winemakers. Even if the quality of the grapes is slightly different every year, the quality of the grapes is slightly different. It's impossible to be too different, so Allen's statement seems a bit strange.

Boss Cha took a sip of red wine. When he heard Gustav's curious question, he turned his head and looked at Gustav meaningfully and explained: "Although their red wine is delicious, you can't drink too much. As for You’d better not understand why the taste is different, but their red wines in recent years should be of good quality.”

Allen also laughed when he heard Boss Cha's explanation. He patted Gustav and said, "Yes, as long as you like it. Don't ask about the specific contents. I will definitely give you a few boxes before you leave." .”

He used to often say that someone would chop up someone and use it as fertilizer. Allen was not joking, he actually had people do it!

Of course, the one who benefits the most is the grapevine at home.

Every time it is moistened by this kind of fertilizer, the quality of the wine in the next one or two years will be quite good. Of course, if there is a normal normal year, then the quality of the wine at home will be a little worse during that period. However, Allen has never been honest in the past few years, and the grapevines at home have never lacked fertilizer.

The programs on the stage continued, and the programs sent by each colony were very representative. Some of the programs may not be grand, but they were all very enjoyable to watch. The dishes on the table were also served one after another as the program progressed.

The other tables are in charge of the waiter, and Allen's table is in charge of him personally. Every time a dish is served, Allen will personally introduce the allusion to the dish.

Each of these dishes is a famous person in the history of the British royal family. Speaking of it on this occasion is not only to popularize this kind of unorthodox knowledge to others, but also to flatter the boss from the side.

"Your Highness, you must have never tasted this dish."

As another exquisitely plated dish that didn't look like a British meal was served, on the white plate, the snow-white fish fillets with a slight yellowish tint were slightly curled, and a few slices of not-so-green vegetables were placed on the fish fillets. , the taste smells slightly sour.

"This is a dish named after me, I call it "Alan Pickled Fish"!"

Boss Cha leaned back slightly. He hadn't noticed Allen's little thoughts yet. He just thought that the dish looked quite creative and smelled okay. He picked up the fork, took a bite and nodded: "Not bad, it tastes very good." , you boy!”

"Haha, Your Highness, you are flattering me."

Allen's smile was very honest and simple. He looked like a loyal minister offering his favorite dishes to his monarch.

For Allen, who never refuses to suffer, this party lasted for two or three hours, with hundreds of noble guests, and there were only nine dishes in total for them to enjoy, and of these nine dishes, eight were from British cuisine. The famous dish of the royal family has quite a lot of history.

There is only one dish named after Allen. This dish is mixed into the eight dishes, and after the waiter's professional explanation, at least every guest who comes to the party today will have a psychological impression. .

Even people who didn't know Allen well before may even have wrong predictions because of this dish, but at least they will be left with a deep impression.

The reputation of Mr. Allen has reached the level of being on the same stage as the historical celebrities of the British royal family! Dick or not? !

As the last big dish was served, Allen rarely took the initiative to stand up and prepare to introduce it solemnly.

Boss Cha looked at Allen's actions, and his curiosity was aroused. Is there any other dish in the royal family that is worthy of Allen's solemn introduction?

Could this guy be messing around again?

Thinking of this, Boss Cha couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Your Highness, this last dish has a special meaning. It was specially prepared for you."

As Allen introduced, he lifted the dinner plate cover with one hand, revealing the last dish inside.

On a white plate, neatly cut chicken is placed in two rows, covered with a layer of golden sauce, and a little bit of chopped vegetables are mixed in the sauce.

As the lid of the dinner plate was lifted, Boss Cha looked at the dish that finally revealed its true identity. The expression on his face was first shocked, then weird, and a bit inexplicable.

He really didn't expect why this dish was worthy of Allen taking it so seriously, and why it had such extraordinary meaning?
